(#47317528)
The standard security framing on agents borrows from API security, which gets the threat model wrong. API security assumes you can enumerate what a system can do -- access controls work because the action space is static. Agents are different: the action space expands dynamically based on tools available and the instruction given at runtime. The priority for NIST should be distinguishing authorization (who can invoke an agent) from action scope control (what any invocation can trigger). Those are different security primitives, and most current frameworks don't address the second one
